Dear student,
We love finance. We have financial discussions, use financial arguments, and think economically every day. We use finance in our lives, not only when deciding whether to refinance a loan, but also when choosing the strategies to follow for the success of a personal appointment or our wedding, to be good parents. Yes, we are indeed a bit peculiar. That's why we will proceed here with a warning. If the thought that you might become a little peculiar yourself causes you hesitation, Do Not Read This Book. Because once you are exposed to the economic way of thinking, there is no turning back - you will see the world with different eyes and it will change you.
Is it worth it what you will learn here? You will judge for yourself. We consider finance something important. We need it to make better investments, but also better choices in our lives in general. Citizens of a democracy must be able to evaluate and judge issues of taxation, deficits, trade, healthcare policy, and inflation. Do you really prefer to be ignorant or intelligent voters? The economic way of thinking will help you understand everyday issues and explain them confidently to someone else.
